I’m a junior, so a few years ago when I only had a 9,7,5 iron with a driver and a 3 wood. This was ok for my ability when I was off 36 but I noticed it does help a bit having 14 clubs, however you could probably get away with 10
10.5 degree driver, persimmon Louisville 4 wood, ancient Cobra Baffler 7W hybrid(the wood/brass head type...), Peerless Tierra 7 and 9 irons, some wedge or another, prehistoric Arnold Palmer blade putter.....entire arsenal of gear( 6 different woods, 3 wedges, irons 3 to 9, couple of putters, snazzy 70's Cobra bag) represents total investment: about $150.00 American.... I am proudly mediocre, and mad for the game! Have a great day, Golfmates! PS: nice work today, sir! On puts missed with flag left in : second example shown: yep. First one missed: looked like one of mine....comes in hot, hits back of cup, shoots straight up in the air about 2 ft.....about 20% of the time, it dramatically falls straight down into the hole! Yipee! ( about 80% of the time, it ends up God knows where....find ball, hit again.....) Cheers.
Thanks. Well done. You are a confident player. Recently I have been trying out 6 - 'clubs' (Driver, 5 wood, 5 iron, 9 iron, S wedge and putter). Enjoying it. A well experienced golfer (h 13) told me that he had taken part in competitions with only 2 clubs ! ie 9 iron and putter! Sky is the limit for innovation. God bless golfers.
Liam, My sincerest thanks and appreciation for the wholesome entertainment and the golf tips you and your golf mates provide. I'm 67 and have had 2 back surgeries but golf is still a great part of my life. I bought a ball retriever for my putter after I saw OMP use his and it was a godsend! Keep up the great work. And my guess is a score of 80.
Love idea. Liam can you do same test rounds with different sets choose clubs with lofts as shown. set A lots of 20 30 40 50 60 deg plus putter, Set B 15 25 35 45 55 plus putter. Trying it here in Aussie now we are back again.
I watched Average Golfer yesterday discussing this exact subject. Played this morning with seven clubs and scored one below my average of 80. Honestly I didn't miss those extra irons, extra wedges, or my three wood. I used essentially the same as you except a hybrid instead of 4 iron and a 54 instead of my 60. Really think I'll give this bag set more play in the future. 14 clubs almost seems silly now 😂
I think you’ll shoot a 81. And with 7 clubs that’s fantastic. We don’t get to see you play serious golf to often but it’s was still very entertaining. Thanks Liam
My buddies and I do a 3 club scramble once a year here in Detroit. I normally take a 3 Hybrid, 7 Iron, and my putter. It's nice not having to lug around a bag full of sticks. Some crazy scenarios happen, but it helps with the overall golf game. As always , great video Liam! 82.
GG on the front nine. Your cameraman "Joe" was doing a good job. Also I don't think you missed the put when you had the flag in as you just lipped it a bit on the left of the hole.
I think your good enough for 80 :) I've only been a golf mate for a few week. I haven't played golf in 5 years due to other commitments. I had a accident at work which as layed me up for a few week and I've come across your channel which as gripped me and all I want to do is get out and golf.(hopefully soon) Please keep the videos coming
Fantastic Liam!! I think 79. Next time try 2 clubs. Sometimes i go speedgolfin.... 3 hybrid and a 50. No bag ,no putter. Hybrid is fine for putting. Fun and a big adventure!
One of your best videos. Excellent production values--videography and graphics, especially. And it's fun to see you "serious" once in a while. Well done, Liam.
Tough course indeed! I would say you did fine - I believe 7 clubs is all you need. Well done Liam. I miss you playing with your golf mates. However it was a well done video. Keep up the good work!!
Love the “hands low, hands low!”...and then you lift them up a tad just before you swing! Doesn’t seem to hurt your iron play though - and very nice putting! A canny 79...
My Chicago golf mates loved this video. The only problem is... your still funny! Great playing Liam. We may have our own 7 club challenge, after the Midwestern USA thaw.
What a great vid. I’m off to play now and I’ve taken 5 clubs out and leaving them at home. It just suddenly makes more sense and I’ve been playing nearly 20 years!! Score of 80 I think, top bloke Liam 👍
Hi Liam,I have just played West Lancs 4BBB and was just talking to Ray(the Starter) and Gavin(the Pro) about your visit last week.They were made up to see you!Cheers Terry.
Loving the content mate. Down in Aus so i get to watch it a bit later but you've become part my daily viewing. Before watching the first hole I'd say you could be bang on hitting the 80.
Great video Liam, I have to say one thing though man, you can't be scared to hit a club in your bag so if you have trouble with one of them like your driver then practice till you love it lol those are the words of tiger woods.
I'm two days late watching this been away and not looked at TH-cam for a couple of days. I think you will finish two over as the wind is picking up good luck LIam.
This has been one of your best videos Liam! Been cheering you on every shot. I reckon you've got a 79 in you. Flag out all the way, never left wondering, just like the old days.
Started to do the same just 7 clubs is all you need . As long as your playing ok . To be honest I'm only using 7 because I've just joined Elea in Cyprus and it's still in the late 30s so 7 is enough as I'm walking every round and played on Thursday and shot 79 +8 . So goes to show 7 clubs is plenty .
Absolutely loving you’re videos Liam pal.I think you shoot round 83 but I’m changing my score as advertised so I think you shoot 73. #GOLFMATEFOREVER #LIFEISLIFE
Great front nine Liam.... My old Man used to say"you will never master golf... You only ever borrow it.... You always give it back"... This looks like the start of great borrow...I think you'll go 9 over 😊
I think you can shoot 76. And yes you can easily play with only 7 clubs; i've been doing it for a few years and notice little difference in my score when i use my full 14 club set or my 7 club half set. Great video, one of your top 5 ever.
Great Vlog Liam on what looks a fantastic course. I think with only 7 clubs there are occasions when your not going to have the right club, even though you seem to be playing better, so I'm going 9 over gross.
Great video Liam! Love this concept! I just took a few clubs out of my bag yesterday because of pure frustration... For the life of me I cannot hit the long irons or a hybrid... Definitely need some tips and more practice... You're only 4 over after 9... In my book that's fantastic!... But I know you want a lower score... You'll make it up on the back 9 with some birdies... Just pull that flag out first!!! 😁 Cheers mate!
I played every shot with you in that vid! Your playing well mate! Keep it up fella! I think you will keep playing well but the difficulty of that course will prevail and you will shoot +11 gross 82
82 (posted prior to score on first hole). Go on Liam! The par 73 golf shirts are quality...just received mine. Suggest if you live in the US, order one size larger than what you normally do (manufacturers are trying to make us feel good about our obesity 😂).
I have a travel set to fit my wife's small car. It compromises a 14 degree GX7 driver( 3 wood length) which is surprisingly good and useful for low fairway shots. Cobra F7 adjustable Hybrids (set at 18 and 22) Then I have Milford Single length irons (6,8 PW, SW) . My putter is an extended shaft PowerBilt mini mallet. It is really fun to work out how to get the shots you need to get around the course. Liam, you are funny no matter if you try to be or not! Score estimate = 84
I'm enjoying the vid Liam, I'm going to say 84, just due to the limited club selection. Looks like a great course, and I hope you prove me wrong by getting under 80 mate!
At 15:30 you didn't hit the pin ,so it most likely would have lipped out anyways(just a hair to much pace) ..You deserve it because your a nice fellow.. 82 will be your score..
Another good one Liam! I think less clubs would make one concentrate more on the shot, so it might help a hacker like me. As for your putt; it looked to me like it lipped out. I don't think the flag affected it but I have been know to be wrong! 6 over.
Unlucky / lucky - that is the question!!!! West Lancs is a no excuses course Liam - love it or hate it it tests all of your game! Great course - scenery - cost is the only negative. Good start, tailed off and then brought it back - keep it going
Hey Liam. I'm guessing 83. I love the laughs and fun but It's great to see you play some serious golf and go for a good score. I could one of those bobble hats!
I recon it will help you, often take out half set it makes me think more about what shot I need to play and the swing that I need to make. Reckon 78 👍🏻
Lunatic Liam is great 😁 but I am quite enjoying serious Liam too. Some impressive play on the front nine of what looks like a very difficult course and can’t wait to see the rest of it. I’ll guess +8 overall. Would love to add a Golfmates polo to my wardrobe.
Beautiful venue for this challenge. Reminds me of Chambers Bay, site of the 2015 U. S. Open, which I've played several times, except you see Puget Sound and the neighboring islands on every hole. Really enjoy links golf as it really makes you play a different style of golf. I will guess you will shoot 8 over as you had your "blow up hole" early. Good luck, mate.
I walk and carry driver, 5-wood, 5-7-9 irons, 52 wedge and putter. No hesitation on club selection. Lots of fun and I don’t miss the other seven!
I’m a junior, so a few years ago when I only had a 9,7,5 iron with a driver and a 3 wood. This was ok for my ability when I was off 36 but I noticed it does help a bit having 14 clubs, however you could probably get away with 10
I've played with 6 clubs for years and usually play close to my handicap.
My handicap has been 36 for years.
Perfect!

What a beautiful place.. I'm thinking around 80.. Loving the content..
"Get those hands low". Starts low then picks them up 6 inches. 🤣🤣
At this point thinking 80. Gotta get a bad couple in there somewhere.

The video work was excellent, helps you concentrate on the golf when someone else is filming you. loved the vid
Good stuff Liam I used to blooming carry 14 clubs all the time but now some days when I am not energetic I just take 6 or 7 clubs it works
Plus 14. Wow, those aerial shots are fantastic. Stellar course.
Liam, thanks for the great tour or a wonderful links course! You looked to be having real fun. Thanks for sharing.
Love the “hands low, hands low!”...and then you lift them up a tad just before you swing! Doesn’t seem to hurt your iron play though - and very nice putting! A canny 79...

Great video, good to see serious Liam every so often! 79 overall, break 80!!!
Loving the content mate. Down in Aus so i get to watch it a bit later but you've become part my daily viewing. Before watching the first hole I'd say you could be bang on hitting the 80.
81 i think, love the videos keep them coming everyone who plays the game can see the enjoyment in what you do, makes it easy to be a golf mate
Really enjoyed this Liam...nice to see just golf...
Like to see OMP do something do something like that.
Great video Liam, I have to say one thing though man, you can't be scared to hit a club in your bag so if you have trouble with one of them like your driver then practice till you love it lol those are the words of tiger woods.
"I'm a good lad . . . . " Yes you are . . . continued success & have fun !!!
Great Video. I'm thinking 74 Liam, your playing well and getting more confident the more holes you play.
I'm two days late watching this been away and not looked at TH-cam for a couple of days. I think you will finish two over as the wind is picking up good luck LIam.
Gonna say 76 for the round Liam...loving the videos keep it up!
This has been one of your best videos Liam! Been cheering you on every shot. I reckon you've got a 79 in you. Flag out all the way, never left wondering, just like the old days.
That was awesome. I've thought of doing the same, but with slightly different clubs, for the past couple of years.
Excellent video Liam, well done matey 👍
I think you’ll shoot 79 brother. Can’t believe there’s no wind. Love your work bro. Golfmate from Australia.
Started to do the same just 7 clubs is all you need . As long as your playing ok .
To be honest I'm only using 7 because I've just joined Elea in Cyprus and it's still in the late 30s so 7 is enough as I'm walking every round and played on Thursday and shot 79 +8 .
So goes to show 7 clubs is plenty .
Absolutely loving you’re videos Liam pal.I think you shoot round 83 but I’m changing my score as advertised so I think you shoot 73. #GOLFMATEFOREVER #LIFEISLIFE
Great vid Liam! Some good golf there mate! 👌
Great vid. I'll be optimistic and say 78, you got the issues from the front 9 ironed out and dropped a couple long putts too
Absolutely great golfing....way to recover from bad shots....Good Job!!!!....fellow GolfMate from across the big pond...👍
OK ok... 79 👍👍👍 Those greens look quality...
Good start Liam, I think something like 86 good luck.
Great front nine Liam.... My old Man used to say"you will never master golf... You only ever borrow it.... You always give it back"... This looks like the start of great borrow...I think you'll go 9 over 😊
I play often with only 7 clubs. Driver, 5 wood, 5 hybrid, 7 and 9 iron, sand wedge and putter. Makes the game a lot easier.
You look like you’re enjoying the game more than in a long time. Great to see it!!
What a cracking vlog. Great course, smooth greens and you look to be playing nicely. Good luck 2nd nine Liam. 78 is my guess.
That was a beautiful putt Liam!! Definitely “chicken and rice” for me mate 👍🏻
I will say 3 over on a tough course. Go, Liam!
81.. I think the temptation to hit driver takes over 🙈 Love the video to btw 👍
Love your videos Liam! Solid start, bring the 79 home! Keep up the excellent content, proud to be a golf mate 👍
Top video mate. I reckon it might be a 9 with that wind good luck pal.
Love this kind of video....
Cracking video, well played front 9 on a tough course👍
Love the channel. Gotta say 84. Sounds like wind is picking up the more you play
Re-think 👍 I'm saying 78. Keep the top videos coming mate
changed me mind!! i think 78, cheers Liam, life is life.
I think you can shoot 76. And yes you can easily play with only 7 clubs; i've been doing it for a few years and notice little difference in my score when i use my full 14 club set or my 7 club half set. Great video, one of your top 5 ever.
Brilliant video keep up good work I think 79. We do have to much club choice
6 over i reckon, keep goin pal, great video 👍
Great Vlog Liam on what looks a fantastic course. I think with only 7 clubs there are occasions when your not going to have the right club, even though you seem to be playing better, so I'm going 9 over gross.
Great video Liam! Love this concept! I just took a few clubs out of my bag yesterday because of pure frustration... For the life of me I cannot hit the long irons or a hybrid... Definitely need some tips and more practice...
You're only 4 over after 9... In my book that's fantastic!... But I know you want a lower score... You'll make it up on the back 9 with some birdies... Just pull that flag out first!!! 😁
Cheers mate!
I played every shot with you in that vid!
Your playing well mate! Keep it up fella!
I think you will keep playing well but the difficulty of that course will prevail and you will shoot +11 gross 82
82 (posted prior to score on first hole). Go on Liam!
The par 73 golf shirts are quality...just received mine. Suggest if you live in the US, order one size larger than what you normally do (manufacturers are trying to make us feel good about our obesity 😂).
Golfmate I like this kind of format its like ( one man 7 clubs against the odds ) the course the conditions, HE WHO DARES sort of thing. Paul
Going with 77,you’re playing spot on.
Very good ... best for a while dude, been a little (little) fortunate. I’ll go with 82.
Great video Liam I’ve got faith you will shoot 77 go on son, can’t wait to find out later 👍👍👌
I knew you could do this 👌 great performance 😀
I often carry only 8 to 11 clubs! 20 degree to 50 degrees of loft is where I keep bag. Me and my friends dont play from the back tees! Cheers
I have a travel set to fit my wife's small car. It compromises a 14 degree GX7 driver( 3 wood length) which is surprisingly good and useful for low fairway shots. Cobra F7 adjustable Hybrids (set at 18 and 22) Then I have Milford Single length irons (6,8 PW, SW) . My putter is an extended shaft PowerBilt mini mallet.
It is really fun to work out how to get the shots you need to get around the course. Liam, you are funny no matter if you try to be or not! Score estimate = 84
Right fella on your advice i’m going with 76! Fingers crossed I win!
I'm enjoying the vid Liam, I'm going to say 84, just due to the limited club selection. Looks like a great course, and I hope you prove me wrong by getting under 80 mate!
83 what a challenging course and with 7 clubs good luck my mate!!
Some solid play on the front there Liam 👍. Anything with a 7 in front of it is a great knock round West Lancs. I’m going 78 gross.
At 15:30 you didn't hit the pin ,so it most likely would have lipped out anyways(just a hair to much pace) ..You deserve it because your a nice fellow.. 82 will be your score..
Right on 80 I think. Great work !!
Another good one Liam! I think less clubs would make one concentrate more on the shot, so it might help a hacker like me. As for your putt; it looked to me like it lipped out. I don't think the flag affected it but I have been know to be wrong! 6 over.
Nice playin !! A par is a birdie -1 lol 🤪
This is fun to see your serious side. With luck of the Irish and skill. I feel at 78 in your future.
Unlucky / lucky - that is the question!!!!
West Lancs is a no excuses course Liam - love it or hate it it tests all of your game!
Great course - scenery - cost is the only negative.
Good start, tailed off and then brought it back - keep it going
I think u can that it why I said 79!!!🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁
79 Liam your playing well, top video.
The good with the Smooth??? lol, Maybe the rough with the smooth or the good with the bad? you are a funny bloke Liam!!
Hey Liam. I'm guessing 83. I love the laughs and fun but It's great to see you play some serious golf and go for a good score. I could one of those bobble hats!
I believe in ya mate. 7 over all the way. 🏌️♂️
Going for a 79! Good luck Liam!👍🏼👍🏼
this may b best golf lesson ever for those paying attention.
79.great video mate keep it up!!
Great start pal, and the course is looking in top nick, I'm thinking 79 for your gross score
Great golf great vid I think 78
77! Really good golf so far! Never leave a birdie putt short!! 😉
79 Liam. So that is the serious Liam, "take the good with the smooth". It is like we are there with you.
79, your playing pretty good. Best of luck!!!
Unique video, pretty course. I'm going with 78.
I recon it will help you, often take out half set it makes me think more about what shot I need to play and the swing that I need to make. Reckon 78 👍🏻

I've seen hints of greatness, I'll say you'll shoot 78. Love the channel!
